Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

An object moving at 34 m/s makes a circle with 1.3m radius? What is the object's acceleration? Round the answer to one decimal
Consider the following figure. A race track is constructed such that two curves of constant radius, 80 m at A and 40 m at B, are joined by two stretches of straight track as in the figure above. While testing a new car, a driver travels at a constant speed of 50 m/s for one complete lap. Which one of the following options is correct for the ratio of the centripetal acceleration of the car at A to the centripetal acceleration of the car at B? acA/acB = 1/2 acA/acB = 1/4 acA/acB = 2 acA/acB = 4 The centripetal acceleration is zero at both points.
The “Screaming Swing” is a carnival ride that is -not surprisingly- a giant swing. It’s actually two swings moving in opposite directions. At the bottom of its arc, a rider in one swing is moving at 30 m/s with respect to the ground in a 50-m diameter circle. The rider in the other swing is moving in a similar circle at the same speed, but in the exact opposite direction. a) What is the acceleration in m/s2 that both riders experience? b) At the bottom of the ride, as they pass each other, how fast do the riders move with respect to each other? Please answer in m/s.
